Maybe I'm confused, but what you describe as a DVD player/recorder is what my DVR is. It looks like a DVD player, plays DVDs, but it also records things to its own internal harddrive (not a harddrive in the sense that it's at all connected to my computer). It can also record/burn what I had previously recorded onto its harddrive onto a DVD, and it plays normal DVDs as well as DVD-Rs that I've made on my computer. Maybe there are different kinds of DVRs? This is the one I have.
ETA: I've been calling it a DVR because that's what it says on its body. But now I realize that it's a hybrid thing. NEVERMIND.
ETA2: I just pulled out its manual because I feel like I'm going crazy, and it calls it a "DVD Video Recorder". I guess that's why I thought all DVRs are like this one.
